LADIES DAY 2018 LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY

Bedford Blues are delighted to announce details of the 11th Ladies Day in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Saturday 13th October against Doncaster Knights at Goldington Road (KO 3pm).

Still in support of breast cancer, the Club has chosen to work with Macmillan for a second consecutive year and turn the home of the Blues pink for the day (with a splash of Macmillan green).

The Club would like to encourage Bedford’s female fans through the turnstiles to help show their support at a buy one, get one free special entry. For all gents attending why not buy online and save £4 by clicking here.

Gates open at midday with 2-for-1 entry for all ladies on the day only as well as complimentary rose wine and fizz on arrival to the Blues Marquee, thanks to sponsors the Eagle Brewery - while stocks last!

The Blues will also be back in pink and green on the pitch as the Bedford XV don a one-off jersey to celebrate the day with all proceeds raised from the auction donated to the charity. To make a silent bid, simply email your name, contact details, number of the jersey you would like to bid for and the amount to season@bedfordrugby.co.uk

Fire Safety Services now part of the Churches Fire Group are once again sponsoring the event which will see a host of other treats available in the marquee throughout the day including Beauty Treatments - courtesy of 5th Avenue Hair and Beauty, Live Music from Sophia Soul, Cakes from Crumbs, Blind Bear Wine and Gin Bar, Taylor’s Sweet Cart and much, much more.

There will be opportunities to get your hands on some exclusive prizes through the Blues auction and raffle, ran by Macmillan volunteers. On top of all that there will be a mascot race, fundraising games and a best-dressed lady competition.

Hospitality in the marquee is sold out, but tables of 10 remain in the new Lifesure Suite at £600 +VAT for a very special Ladies Day experience. Email sophie@bedfordrugby.co.uk for more details and to book.

With many supporters knowing someone affected by cancer, the club are delighted to be supporting and highlighting the great work being carried out by Macmillan. Guaranteed to be another fantastic occasion in aid of a very worthy cause it’s not a match to be missed.

Jessica Zaremba, Macmillan Regional Fundraising Manager for Bedfordshire said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Bedford Blues for their annual ‘Ladies Day’. We hope to build on the success of last year’s event which helped to raise £7,000 for people with cancer in our region.”

“This money could help to run a large Macmillan information and support centre or fund a Macmillan nurse for several weeks. Macmillan receives no government funding and relies on generous donations from the public which is why we’re encouraging everyone to take part this year.”

Tickets for the match are available to purchase online or on the gate, but the 2-for-1 offer only applies to tickets bought on the day.
